To dare, to dream, to win: April 2007

an inspiring testimonial..

i post it here.. whoever interested can go take a look =)

whampoa zone friendship meeting.

like e souvenir.. think it's well made with all e efforts put in.. the panel discussion is gd also. just tt if only more ppl i hope will come have come..

sth i heard today.. "Do not compare with others. Victory is not winning over others; it is winning over yourself, to be better than urself of yesterday"

still e best..

was shocked when someone take over my high score! but how can i allow tt to happen when i so love hebe!.. and hence...

botak jones..

didn't blog finish just now, but well it's 2 diff topic anyway.. after the youth peace lecture, went to clementi blk 325 to eat botak jones. supposedly to be an american western food, but seriously i dun think botak is an english word.. i suppose they use american style but use own name. anyway it's situated at the kopi tiam and their business is just scary la! long queue of ppl.. almost the whole coffee shop is eating from the store =_= dunno how others do biz. i mean when we go there e whole place is just full, which means unless ppl go there for botak jones, i dun think u will wait just to eat other stalls esp when there are more coffee shops across e road..

I will say the food is ok ba. fish n chips at $6 and chicken at $7 for regular. actually my chicken portion is small if u ask me; think on top got bbq sauce + cheese, dunno why it cool so fast such tt the melted cheese no longer taste as nice.. e fries are gd, cos they add some spicy powder on it; ok sometimes it feel more salty than spicy... strangely though the portion is not tt big except maybe e fries, i still feel rather full even till now..

Singapore Economy: The right options

went for the 7th youth peace lecture by Prof Lim Chong Yah, prof of NTU sch of humanities and social science today. rather interesting talk i will say, he know how to joke haha. what impress me is when he met Dr. Daisaku Ikeda, who asked him why he wanted to study economics, in which he replied, he wanted to know why poverty exist in this world and how he can eradicate poverty. This i feel is sth not all ppl can think of doing for society.

sth come to my mind... "think not of why suffering exist in this world, think how u can eradicate suffering for u and for other"

better pick up line needed..

went dmkkai today after work; arrived at harbourfront and decided to go toilet which means turning left; and little did i expect an ambush happens. AGAIN..... yes those prudential ppl. gosh. 1 fated encounter is enuff ok? anyway as i say it happens again.

i really tried to avoid by walking faster. then i see the signal comes. yes i'm quite sure from e corner of my eyes i see some of e guys signal sth and then a ger approaches me...and u wun believe wad she say..

she said "i think i see u somewhere b4" ...=_=...for once i was stunned; i thought maybe she isn't an insurance agent n maybe i really did see her b4 =_=. then she asked e standard questions. zzz i must say i lousy at siam-ing la and hence e conversation ensued...

"finish work?"
"ya"
"where u working?"
"i'm on attachment on. ( to show i'm not a full time worker)"
"which sch are u from?"
"NUS"
"which year?"
"3"
"what fac?"
"engine"
"oh, i'm from science, no wonder i find u familar"

=_= =_= =_=, science and engine are like not side by side? even if they are, the sch is like so big?? even if we really met b4, are u sure u rmb me?? zzz

then she asked
"do u teach tuition?"
"no"
"part-time?"
"no"
"but u working rite? got savings rite?"

then i told her stn, then it's over...

but what happened on top is really ......

HSBC tree top walk!

yeah, went to macritchie with the rest of the IA guys.. or shd i say gers, cos they are twice as many gers than guys? haha.. think it's rather fun.. e walk is not tt long, just right, not too tired. so it's gd. and seldom will i really go macritchie for such things. or shd i say nv.. haha.. heard they wan to organize another to ubin. it's far okkk :o

then had lunch at thomson there. pork chop spagetti.. actually took photo of it in my hp. but lazy to upload! haha. but think i shdnt have mixed the root beer with the food, cos in e end i sorta have indigestion

then came home slack.. shiok haha

anyway tt time wanted to post this. ya look at what i did on wed... actually take a look at no. 7 on the score board.. yl love hebe! h.... actually it's hr2002 sucks . hur hur

poor driver? or poor passengers...

just came back from dmkkai for the zone friendship meeting next sun. feel revitalised after tt 1.5 hr of daimoku.. and of cos the testimonials i heard..

anyway was taking 913 back. then was going to alight liao. but the bus nv stop. but stopped at the traffic light infront. seriously if i'm not mistaken, NOBODY and i mean nobody pressed the bell, till the bus overshot. ppl are instead busy tapping their cards. zzz

then i heard someone, dunno who say .. sth sth 在睡觉啊。。。it could either be, the passenger scolding the driver, or driver scolding everyone. if it's the former, then poor driver. nobody press the bell but he got scolded. if it's the latter, ok the passengers are wrong, but technically, they are always right so they shdn't be scolded! but well, i think it's the poor driver...

i feel so sad, my bwp dun trust me. my fault for not going for the dinner lor.. ok la i shd have asked mr-v along, then maybe i wun be RAH-ed at... instead i might have gotten a free treat from each of them individually some other day... oh welll

the end..

no more exams for this sem..

let's wait n see e results..

effort really doesn't = results? i mean i put in consistent effort. but i just can't write and put my thoughts together i suppose.. shall not and must not panic.. i will make my final year SHINE..

i dun like S.H.E for no reasons. I shall sing their Watch me shine

PS. now i know y i'm in engine

what i did today..

wanted to put e pic but can't upload.. well maybe too...

anyway, 11 more hrs, the exam will be over..

sadly, there isn't even time for others to encourage me.. oh well

不要问我发生什么事。。

因为我自己也不晓得。。也许我懂，也许我不。。

i just lack the life force to do anything, i dunno what's happening to me, seriously i did practically nothing the whole day.

i hope nth is wrong.

hmmm

意念 is very impt. the determination to do sth tt is. still finding my own...

i signed up for the emailcashpro thingy, where u supposedly get paid for reading emails. tt was like half a yr ago? but u need to refer alot of ppl b4 u can really earn la. and ppl aren't interested u see? anyway often i receive their email but nv bother with them. just click on the link to credit into my acct, then i close liao . but this time i spend alot of this one! cos it's bausch & lomb advertisement with SHE inside!

anyway there's this flash game in the site, which tests ur eye's astigmatism! u can try it here!

and my name's in the hall of fame! hhaha.. look u shd know which's me! must work harder to get 1st! lol

a meaningful story

Dr. Arun Gandhi, grandson of Mahatma Gandhi and founder of the M.K.Gandhi Institute for Non-violence, in his June 9 lecture at the University of Puerto Rico, shared the following story:

I was 16 years old and living with my parents at the institute my grandfather had founded 18 miles outside of Durban, South Africa, in the middle of the sugar plantations. We were deep in the country and had no neighbors, so my two sisters and I would always look forward to going to town to visit friends or go to the movies. One day, my father asked me to drive him to town for an all-day conference, and I jumped at the chance. Since I was going to town, my mother gave me a list of groceries she needed and, since I had all day in town, my father asked me to take care of several pending chores, such as getting the car serviced. When I dropped my father off that morning, he said, "I will meet you here at 5:00 p.m., and we will go home together." After hurriedly completing my chores, I went straight to the nearest movie theatre. I got so engrossed in a John Wayne double-feature that I forgot the time. It was 5:30 before I remembered. By the time I ran to the garage and got the car and hurried to where my father was waiting for me, it was almost 6:00. He anxiously asked me, "Why were you late?" I was so ashamed of telling him I was watching a John Wayne western movie that I said, "The car wasn't ready, so I had to wait," not realizing that he had already called the garage. When he caught me in the lie, he said: "There's something wrong in the way I brought you up that didn't give you the confidence to tell me the truth. In order to figure out where I went wrong with you, I'm going to walk home 18 miles and think about it." So, dressed in his suit and dress shoes, he began to walk home in the dark on mostly unpaved, unlit roads. I couldn't leave him, so for five-and-a-half hours I drove behind him, watching my father go through this agony for a stupid lie that I uttered. I decided then and there that I was never going to lie again. I often think about that episode and wonder, if he had punished me the way we punish our children, whether I would have learned a lesson at all. I don't think so. I would have suffered the punishment and gone on doing the same thing. But this single non-violent action was so powerful that it is still as if it happened yesterday.

That is the power of non-violence.

i dunno..

what i did today.. woke up early today cos yday i basically did nth but played games. ok la, went out since 8 in e morning till evening to visit members but well i'm losing sense of direction..

and today i dunno what happened, i read like so damn freaking slow..

and i wanted to take a nap of 45 but end up become 2:45. =_=

and oh ya i rmb eating alot of lemon puff biscuits which are niceeee

last ago i think i posted sth on 2nd chances. Buddhism teaches abt cause and effect.. whatever one do, there will have an effect.. though its nv always apparent, but somehow the effect is there and will appears eventually.

so how many 2nd chances can one have? n m h r g k..

小情歌。。。

A nice soothing song, pls get from me if u wan! =)

这是一首简单的小情歌　唱着人们心肠的曲折

我想我很快乐　当有你的温热　脚边的空气转了

*这是一首简单的小情歌　唱着我们心头的白鸽

我想我很适合　当一个歌颂者　青春在风中飘着　

你知道　就算大雨让这座城市颠倒　我会给你怀抱　

受不了　看见你背影来到　写下我　度秒如年难捱的离骚　

就算整个世界被寂寞绑票　我也不会奔跑　

逃不了　最后谁也都苍老　写下我　时间和琴声交错的城堡

*你知道　就算大雨让这座城市颠倒　我会给你怀抱

受不了　看见你背影来到　写下我　度秒如年难捱的离骚

就算整个世界被寂寞绑票　我也不会奔跑

跑不了　最后谁也都苍老　写下我　时间和琴声交错　的城堡

change..

change only is not enuff. one just need to improve

Aska aka my BWP part 2..

i can't get enuff of this ger, as in there are so much to write abt her! so the story continues...

let me talk abt the power of attraction of this ger.. on her blog she say tt she can attract 10, and after her braces she can attract 20....

so now she can attract 10, and 1 of them is someone i know...

yes my gd fren mr-v!! the famous chem ah beng from blinkymummy's blog!

and why do i say she attract mr-v? proofs show for themselves...

when was the last time mr-v tag on my board b4 my previous entry on aska? seriously i can't rmb.. mr-v can u? maybe he nv tag b4...

and not tt he dun tag ok.. he tag alot on fuxiang's blog..

so he does tag..

and what happen after my post on aska.. tags after tags by mr-v.. see the tagboard if u dun believe... ok it sorta die down since that entry was quite some time already...

anyway i believe aska and mr-v are meant for each other la.. i mean aska know mr-v b4 this match up on my blog. she said she even wanted to go talk to him but she shy!!! ya tt's y ..

and obviously mr-v is full of admiration for her!! cos after i post that.. he is the 1st! and actually only one to respond. lol

anyway i use their photo and go to this online site which can test for couple's match

guess wad. my photo and my gf.. only 95% match

wad abt aska and mr-v?

<=mr-v => aska

match : 99% omg omg omg! how perfect can tt be!! ok 1% short ( tt brings abt e pt.. nobody is perfect)

anyway i realise, that mr-v's latest post claims that he write for mr fox buttttttt if u see, he mention abt aska in the post (though names are excluded), so ...

ok i digressed from the topic. ya la i talked abt the guy that aska attract and how compatible they are.

the end

life is short, cherish it!

was looking newspaper just now, happen to see the obituaries.. (well mr-v, i really didn't do it on purpose, though i know u are going to disappear for some time).. anyway saw a ger, only 19 from some poly, passed away. and she's sweet loving ( ok tt's a bit out of pt) but e pt is tt's quite sad. so cherish ur life and those ard u

personality test!

i tried this on yen's blog. ok . seems accurate. haha

Your view on yourself:You are down-to-earth and people like you because you are so straightforward. You are an efficient problem solver because you will listen to both sides of an argument before making a decision that usually appeals to both parties.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:You prefer to get to know a person very well before deciding whether you will commit to the relationship.

The seriousness of your love:Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education: Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you: You're a practical person and will choose a secure job with a steady income. Knowing what you like to do is important. Find a regular job doing just that and you'll be set for life.
How do you view success:You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

songs..

heard this song by this taiwanese singer on 933. supposedly to be a new song but i tried finding the lyrics, turned up to be an album released in may 06? maybe the date is wrong? or maybe it take some time to 打 to singapore. anyway the song sounds quite old sch, as in the tune and the style of singing even? haha oh ya think the dj said this singer sounds like 张雨生.. anyway the song is << 我相信>> by 杨培安。。 think it's quite an inspiring song with nice lyrics. anyone who wants the song can ask me! hehe

想飞上天　和太阳肩并肩

世界等着我去改变

想作的梦从不怕别人看见

在这里　我都能实现

大声欢笑　让你我肩并肩

何处不能欢乐无限

抛开烦恼勇敢的大步向前

我就站在舞台中间

想飞上天　和太阳肩并肩

世界等着我去改变　　

抛开烦恼勇敢的大步向前

我就站在舞台中间

我相信我就是我　我相信明天

我相信青春没有地平线

在日落的海边　在热闹的大街

都是我心中最美的乐园

我相信自由自在　我相信希望

我相信伸手就能碰到天

有你在我身边　

让生活更新鲜每一刻都精彩万分　I do believe

SGI President Ikeda's Daily Encouragement for April 7
Strength is the source of happiness. We mustn't shy away from life's challenges. We mustn't be defeated. Refusing to be defeated equals victory. A person who perseveres to the end is a winner. In the course of promoting our movement, the Soka Gakkai has never pulled back in the face of any hindrance. We have kept moving forward. And that is the key to our success. Never to retreat a single step, no matter what-that is the Soka Gakkai spirit. Those who embrace this spirit can achieve unlimited victory.

ok i know i'm slow...

where shd i start..

exam is approaching. though it's really just ONE paper but it's less than 2 weeks cos this paper just start early, during study week.. and i think i'm too slacked with that gaming almost every nite? yup and with the HV campaign coming along, time is a thing i need since i've less time than other ppl already.

of cos i can choose the slack approach for the paper, since it's just open book and i do wonder if effort necessary = results. or maybe i shd wonder if i heading towards the correct direction 1st. well things need to be done.

10 days, 1 down, how many can i visit, maybe i just need the correct mindset..

Daily Encouragement for April 5
